Highlights
Sempervivum 'Greyfriars' (Earl): A fantastic rosette with dreamy green and lilac tones. The purple pigments intensify in drought and bright sunlight. A great match to balance out other succulents that have warmer red and yellow tones.
Hens & Chicks need plenty of outdoor sunlight to show their best colors and maintain a tight rosette form. They thrive in gritty, well-draining soils and pots with drainage holes. They produce new offsets or "chicks" on stolons. These chicks can be left to form tidy clusters or removed to share and transplant.
Sempervivum do most of their growing in the spring and summer, and will thrive with weekly watering and afternoon shade if temperatures exceed 80F. They are incredibly frost hardy and will happily thrive through winter under an insulating blanket of snow. Protect from heavy rains and standing water to prevent rot.

I am hosting a 4 day succulent fundraiser for a non-profit animal rescue here in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. 100% of them are MTG plants! These succulents are so much better than I could have asked for. From the size of the plants, to the color variety, to the packaging! A+++ I had over 150 plants delivered upside-down at my door, and not a single plant was harmed. Very impressive. Keep up the good work! I can't wait for my next order! (which is on the way already!)”
The website isn't very user friendly but the plants are always nice.”
